BERLIN, Sept 2S.-The public prosecutor at
Comar has made an inquiry into the circum-
stances connected with the shooting affair on the
Franco-G German frontier near Raon-sur- Plaine on
Saturday last, and reports that KAUFMAN. the
soldier who detailed to assist the forest guard
IN preventing pOaching and who did the shooting
saw twelve persons In the pine forests on German
territory walking In the direction OF the French
frontier. Kaufman called three times for the
party to halt but no attention was paid 10 his
summons and he fired.
Then, seeing guns levelled at him from behind
some trees on the French side or the boundary he
retreated from his position. one OF the forest
guards named L1nhOf was witness TO the whole
affair and corroborateS Kaurmann'S statement.
Two large blood spots were found on the French
side yards from the frontier, which are taken AZ
evidence that Brign0n, the game-beater for the
French party, who died from his wounds. dragged
himself 10 the spot after being wounded and lay
there for some time. No blood marks or foot
prints were seen on the German side OF the from
Tier, there being a high growth OF heather there
abOutS.
owing to the density OF the underground OF
bushes and the thickness OF the trees, IL would
have been impossible for Kaufman from the spot
where he fired TO have seen the place where the
blood marks were found, or TO have shot any one
there. IL is, therefore, assumed by the pubic
prosecutor that the shots were fired and took effect
on German territory. The North German Gdzette
deplOreS the incident aud says: "We must await
the result OF the judicial inquiry before taking any
action In the matter"
